Towards a Rational and Efficient Diagnostic Approach in Children Referred for Growth Failure to the General Paediatrician [PDF]

, 2019
Based on a recent Dutch national guideline, we propose a structured stepwise diagnostic approach for children with growth failure (short stature and/or growth faltering), aiming at high sensitivity for pathologic causes at acceptable specificity.

Postnatal Growth Patterns and Deviations in Singleton and Twin Infants: A Prospective Cohort Study on Infants Appropriate and Small for Gestational Age

Pediatric Discovery
Small for gestational age (SGA) and twin infants are at increased risk of growth deviations, but postnatal catch‐up growth (CUG) patterns across singleton, twin, appropriate for gestational age (AGA), and SGA groups remain unclear.

Spatiotemporal and quantitative analyses of phosphoinositides – fluorescent probe—and mass spectrometry‐based approaches

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fluorescent probes allow dynamic visualization of phosphoinositides in living cells (left), whereas mass spectrometry provides high‐sensitivity, isomer‐resolved quantitation (right). Their synergistic use captures complementary aspects of lipid signaling. This review illustrates how these approaches reveal the spatiotemporal regulation and quantitative

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.
